You could swap the Focus Band for a Choice Scarf and use Icy Wind on enemy Garchomp to attack first

Honestly, Zoroark is incredibly slow for this meta I can't believe it's only 168 I thought it could reach 177

If you're using Zoroark you're dropping Gholdengo, not the second mega

Honestly im kind of weirdly fine with sash because its mostly mind games with zoroark to get bitter malice on phys mons and icy wind is always guaranteed with sash anyways
